The Kwara State College of Health Technology, Offa has announced the
introduction of new academic programmes in the institution. The
programmes and their admission requirements are as follows;BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING
The Professional Programmes in Biomedical Engineering is designed to
expose students to broad areas of the basic Biological, Medical,
Physical, and Engineering Sciences in addition to applied Biomaterials,
Biomedical, Devices. Moreover, the inter-disciplinary nature of the
programme positions the graduate to be versatile, self-reliant, with the
required entrepreneurial skill to be self independent in the business
world.
Biomedical Engineering combines the technologies of Biological and
Medical Engineering and so concerned with the theory, design and
production of biomedical systems, components and devices used in the
three levels of health prevention, treatment and rehabilitation. The
major objective of our professional programmes is produce graduates with
an in-depth knowledge of both the practical and theoretical aspects of
Biomedical Engineering with its. Technology that is broad enough to
permit self-employment after graduation. We also hope to produce
graduates that will take us employment within and outside the country in
the broad field on biomedical engineering.
The course is designed to expose students to all of the major areas
of Biomedical Engineering through series of lectures, laboratory
exercise and tutorials. During the programme, the students are given the
opportunity to develop more specialized understanding through an
extended research project as well as some interval of industrial
attachment as important component of the programme.
The scope of the programme is so wide that it is impossible for a
graduate of the programme to be a specialist in all the branches of the
fields. As result the programme has been delineated into a number of
specialty areas which are called options in the instance.
